| "Then a hermit, who visited the city once a year, came forth and said, "Speak to us of Pleasure." And he answered saying: Pleasure is a freedom song But it is not freedom. It is the blossoming of your desires, But it is not their fruit. It is a depth calling unto a height, But it is not the deep nor the high. It is the caged taking wing, But it is not space encompassed. Ay, in very truth, pleasure is a freedom-song..." -Kahlil Gibran |
